Dude, chill. It's 2021, this site is almost certainly hosted on a cloud server where storage is not an issue, scales dynamically, and is likely not part of the pricing model anyhow. Not saying he shouldn't like them through for aesthetic reasons, but server space is like... such a 2005 concern.

Data storage is still a concern and always will be. It is the easiest thing in the world to click on a picture and link it instead of uploading every single one of them.

Agree it's the easiest thing in the world to link the photos. But data storage for photo uploads is 0% a concern unless you have some legacy hosting solution from a decade ago. Massive databases or 4k video, sure, but photos? Pfft. I'd hazard a guess that the hosting plan for this site (IBM SoftLayer, if the Googles are reliable) is throughput-demand-based instead of storage-based anyhow.

I've always wondered. I didn't even know it was possible to upload to the forums. I always thought you had to hotlink from your own storage space

You know what, Tcoat, you've gone long enough without someone putting you in check. And for crying out loud it's time someone says it.











stop.

I guess at the end of the day is it the user’s fault or the application’s fault. If certain functions are allowed on the forum that aren’t desirable, the application should change to not allow it.

So the application should be changed to either restrict uploading of photos or reduce the size of the photos allowed to be uploaded etc. As long as the function is there, users will make use of it and I think that is fair play as that is how the application is designed at present.

Oh god that was so last week. I made my message clear and if he ignores it I don't care anymore. At least I tried.

I'm actually lost on the whole thing. But I assume it's him posting a lot of photos and such and it's taking up space?

A lot is an understatement. It is cool that he scours the farthest corners of the internet for every single picture, render and high schooler's doodle of the thing but the shear mass of pictures he is uploading instead of simply linking is daunting.

If admin isn't worried than I don't care either though.

Some of us dont like clicking on links for pics and would rather it show up in the post.
I can see it being annoying if your internet sucks and is slow, or if they're gigantic images (which to be fair the forum software tends to autoshrink it to a viewable size for your screen)

Linking means the picture does show up in the post. Probably 95% of the pictures on this forum are linked.

Welp, even the STi version looks terrible to me. I wish I liked the car, I really do. Really wanted to love it. But I wouldn’t buy one of these based on the aesthetics if it had 300 hp and was 25 grand. I can’t find even one angle I like. Just doesn’t work to my eye.
I do like that STi shift knob though, and I got that already

I can agree on struggling to like the car from its various angles, but that STI shift knob...
